The Social Policies under Romanian Communism Autumn School has arrived at its third edition. For one week, in September the Memorial Museum in Sighetul Marmatiei will be host to 30 students (BA, MA, PhD) who come together to debate the new theoretical and factual acquisitions relating to the history of Romanian Communism.
This year's topic will be Between the Soviet Model and National Characteristics and will be focused on a comparative approach with the hope that future historians will better understand Communism and its East-Central European context.
In 2017 the Autumn School is open for students and researchers both from Romania and for those living and working in other former socialists states in Central and Eastern Europe(Poland, Hungary, Czech Republik Slovakia, Bulgaria etc.).
Those interested in taking part should send a recommendation letter signed by a professor and a 2000 world=long essay in two recently published books on the history of communism to socialpoliciesautumnschool@gmail.com
Deadline: June 20th 2017
